The D-Link DKVM-2K is a 2-port PS/2 based KVM switch for controlling two computers using a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
1 It's cheap for a reason.
The price is right on this KVM switch, but that's where it ends. If you switch back and forth between two running PCs and at least one is running WinXP, it won't find the mouse when you return to the WinXP machine. DLink support suggests using a non-scrollwheel mouse (which is a poor fix), but even then, with a standard two-button PS2 mouse, it still won't activate the mouse once you move away from the WinXP box and then return.
Look elsewhere for a KVM switch.
2 It's okay, but.......
It works just fine when you power up both computers at the same time. However, there were intermittent problems with mouse and/or keyboard when only one computer was on. VERY portable, it's now a main part of my traveling tool kit.

First, my main gripe. Like most any KVM you're likely to buy, it sometimes can cause 3 button wheel mice to freeze when switching between two active PCs. Just google KVM & mouse to see the joy...
But aside from this, the cabling is well-organized. I've used it to switch between multiple OS's such as Windows 98, XP, and Linux (even though it's not advertised as Linux compatible!). And seems to work well if your main concern is space savings and you don't need both PCs on at the same time.
